To allpersons to whom thresepresmtsmay come The spindle of the roller isshown at D, the oilingl Be it known thatI, EDWARD S. S'rmrsonj, ofMilford, in the county of` Worcester, and State of. Massa-A chusetts,haveinveuted a new and useful Improvement in Roller-Temples for Loomsfor weaving cloth; and do hereby declare the same to be fully describedin the following speciteation, and represented in the acco|npanyingdrawings, of whchj Figures 1 and 2 are. vertical sections of two descriptions of the Dutcher roller-temples, showing my improvement as appliedto them, thenbject of such being to .enable the toothed roller, and itssupporting-spimllel and cap, to be lubricated, orsupplied with oil atproper times, and especially to-introdnee -such oildirectly against o rin close proximity with thatend of the'roll-V er which is hmne againstthe projection of the cap by the cloth, while the weaving of it may beinthe process of being effected.

The temple shownl in fig. has its spindle screwed into thetrough-standard,`bnt the temple exhibited in iig. Zhas its spindleinserted in sockets, a: a one of which is made in the temple-troughstandard, and the other in theear, or projection of' the cap, suchsockets being closed at their `outer ends, so as to hold the spindle inplace, [n carrying out my improvement, vI `form, in the project-ion ofthe cap, and so as to lead to the spindle and to the next adjacent' 'endof the roller, a passage, by which oil, after having been poured intosuchpassage, shall be conveyed by it to the spindle and to the next`jacent end of theroller, without first going lengthwise through'thebore `of the spindle. In the drawingsf A denotes the toothed roller; i

B, the trough;

O, theA cap;

a, the standard ofthe trough; and

passage in the projection of the capheing represented at E. This passagemay lead into a groove, c, made Veither transversely, or longitudinally,or otherwise, in

the spindle, in order that the oil may be carried by such groove intothe bearing or bore of the roller.

I am aware, that in the patent, No. 82,684, 'dated/ f October 6, A. D.1868, and granted to Lneius Briggs, the centre-pin of the roller isrepresented as extending .beyond the trough-head, or standard,4 andprovided with an oil-passage leading into the extension, and thenceaxially into the pin, and finally, transversely out of the pin near themiddle of the roller.

This' invention` differs entirely from mine, and does' not accomplishone important result sought to be at.

tained by mineviz, the oiling of that end of the roller which, 4by thedraught of the cloth, is borne against the projection of the cap whilethe weaving of the i cloth may be in progress.

It is betweenthe projection ofthe cap and the end Yoi' the roller whichis next to it, that the friction generated is the greatest, andtherefore, such is the place where the oil is most needed.

What, therefore, I claim as my invention, or imvthe bore of the roller,the whole being substantially as specified. f EDWARD S,A STIMPSON.yWitnesses:
